What are the realities facing your church and community?
What are your dreams for a world free from poverty?

2 March 2025 is Church Action on Poverty Sunday. Give, act and pray with others to help build a movement to end UK poverty – inspired by the powerful ‘Dreams and Realities’ art exhibition.

‘Dreams and Realities’ is a set of nine portraits by Sheffield artist Stephen Martin. Each portrays a person, along with symbols representing the reality they face living in poverty – and the dreams they would pursue if they weren’t being held back.

The exhibition has toured the UK through 2024 in support of the ‘Let’s End Poverty’ campaign. Now you can use the pictures to spark reflection and action in your church.

• Use our free worship resources to reflect and pray for change.
• Share the Dreams and Realities portraits (available as prints or digital slides) to inspire people to reflect on their own dreams for a better world – with prayers and suggestions for all-age creative activities.
• Raise funds to support people working together to reclaim dignity, agency and power across the UK.
